Sixteen years ago most people had never heard of country songstress Miranda Lambert, but everything changed in 2003 when she starred in the first season of Nashville Star. In 2005, the young Texan released her debut studio album Kerosene and was catapulted into country music stardom. Let’s take a look at a song close to Lambert’s heart which was recorded in 2001 before she hit the limelight titled “Texas as Hell.”

In this song, Lambert sums up her how home-state shaped her and her unique personality. When she sings, “My temper gets hotter than red white and blue blazes. You know dog-gone well everybody can tell I’m Texas as hell,” the country singer makes it clear she wants everyone to know where she is from just by looking at her. Enjoy this special Miranda Lambert throwback track and take a listen to “Texas as Hell” below!

“Texas as Hell” Lyrics

I’m Texas as hell
Mean and ornery
I don’t need no loud mouth
Comin’ on to me
My temper gets hotter than red white and blue blazes
You know dog-gone well everybody can tell I’m Texas as hell

Well I know I haven’t been around a long time
But I’ve heard my share of
Those worn out love lines
If you ain’t redneck
Don’t waste your time
Because right now I’m in a lonestar state of mind

And I’m Texas as hell
Mean and ornery
I don’t need no loud mouth
Comin on to me
My temper gets hotter than red white and blue blazes
You know dog-gone well everybody can tell
I’m Texas as hell

Well I guess you think that I’ll be persuaded
But how many times do I have to say this
Don’t mess with me boy
For heaven’s sake
Didn’t anybody tell you messin with Texas was a big mistake
